Help with finishing powder!

I have quite oily skin and use Mac's Studio Fix Fluid. On top I recently started using Makeup Forever's HD powder. Unfortunately I get shiny just after a few hours using the MUFE powder. Which finishing powder do you think works for oily and sensitive skin? Please comment with suggestions! Thanks!

I have an oily t zone and I recently picked up Neutrogena Oil Control Translucent powder. Love this stuff! It really does control the oil! :)

I use elfs translucent setting powder. It works just as good as MUFE but it's 6 bucks. So if you wanna keep that powder up for less cost!

Megan: ELF's translucent setting powder claims to be silica powder but it contains fillers, unlike MUFE's which does not. Which is why MUFE provides a much better looking, feeling, and long lasting finish. If you don't want to splurge on MUFE you should definitely order Coastal Scents' silica spheres. This powder is literally the same as MUFE's but it costs WAY less and you get far more product. I don't remember the exact cost but its very cheap. Check it out on coastalscents.com.

I own MUFE and elfs setting powders. They work the exact same. Elf is just 6 bucks instead of 35.

Also try a primer possibly by Mac, or which ever you prefer under your makeup. Not only does it help with people who have wide pours but also with oily skin like myself

You shoud try INGLOT Translucent Loose Powder 216. It gives a matte finish and also absorbs sebum. It is white in the jar but when you put it on it does not alter your skin color or makeup. This way if you find that you need to add more during the day you can without getting all that buildup &/or cakiness of using other powders.

Lancome maqui blanc miracle...I really love it...I have oily skin too...when I try using this I dnt feel regret to buy...I usually used without liquid foundation...using by itself is really amizing...I put moisturiser (olay) first before applying...look@this.
